What causes the earth-moon move through space?
The Earth and Moon move through space primarily due to the gravitational forces exerted by the Sun and other celestial bodies, as well as their mutual gravitational attraction. The Earth orbits the Sun while the Moon orbits the Earth, creating a complex motion where both bodies are influenced by the gravitational pull of the Sun. Additionally, the angular momentum from their formation and the conservation of momentum contributes to their ongoing motion through space.
How does the earth stay up in space?
The Earth stays in space due to a balance of two main forces: gravity and inertia. Gravity pulls the Earth towards the Sun, while the Earth's inertia keeps it moving forward in its orbit. This delicate balance causes the Earth to continuously move in its orbit around the Sun without falling into it.
Why planets revolves around the sun?
Einstein revised our idea of planetary orbits in his theory of relativity, which says that planets orbit the sun because of the sun's distortion of space. This distortion causes space to bend. The planets move along this bend. Think of a Bowling ball placed on a mattress. The ball causes a circular dent in the mattress. If you shoot a marble at the ball, the marble will move around the bowling ball in a circle along the path of the indentation. In the same way, the planets revolve along the indentation the sun makes in space.
Why does everything orbit the sun?
Everything orbits the sun because the sun has more mass and gravitational pull which forces the earth and other objects to rotate it.
What objects in space move in space each day?
sun moon
What causes water to move?
Gravity and the moon and sun
Does the suns gravity cause asteroids to move?
The sun's gravity doesn't necessarily cause the asteroids to move, however it does cause the asteroids to move the way that they do move. For example, let's take away the sun. Any asteroids around the sun would continue to move at the same rate that is was moving prior to the sun being taken away. However, instead of following an elliptical orbit around the sun, the asteroid would move in a straight line instead. So the asteroids can still move without the sun. However, it is the sun that makes the asteroids orbit around the sun. The orbit's tendency to want to move away in a straight line counteracts the gravity created by the sun. The results of these two forces is what causes the asteroids elliptical orbit.
What is gravitys affect on Earths revolution around the sun?
Gravity is the force that keeps Earth in orbit around the Sun. The gravitational pull between the two objects causes Earth to move in a curved path around the Sun, creating the elliptical shape of its orbit. Without gravity, Earth would not be able to stay in its orbit and would drift off into space.
What is the link between the suns gravity and the motion of a planet?
The Sun's gravity causes a planet to move in its orbit. The Sun's gravity provides a centripetal force. The effects of the Sun's gravity, combined with the planet's inertia (tendency to move in a straight line), results in a planet's elliptical orbit.
What forces keep the Earth moving?
The Earth's movement is primarily due to its inertia and the gravitational pull from the Sun. Inertia causes the Earth to continue moving in a straight line, while the Sun's gravity keeps it in orbit around the Sun. Other factors, such as the gravitational pull from the Moon and other planets, also influence the Earth's movement.
What force causes the water on earth to move towards the sun?
Gravity does.
What causes the planet's that are closer to the sun to move faster?
it's gravity
